JONATHAN MARX: Welcome back, and it is time for the number one contender match in order to determine who will go on to face the champion at the next PPV.

VIC WATERS: I don’t know about you, but I am really looking forward to this match. Felix Red has been busting his hump for over nine months and this is his first chance to win a shot to headline a PPV, then you have Gideon who is becoming off eclipsing Manson’s record as being the longest reigning WFW North American Champion of Alltime and establishing that title as thee title in a time when the World Title was switching hands left and right, and last but not least, you have El Arco Iris, who after taking the beating of a lifetime in the War Games match, was able to pull off the huge upset by being the seven foot tall Iron Lion and Larry Tact. Can you find anything three better men than those to be in this match?

JONATHAN MARX: Didn’t Wylde make those three matches interpromotional match to determine who was fit to get a shot at his WFW World Heavyweight Title?

VIC WATERS: Yes, but then Wylde lost and that messed everything up. The WFW has banned Manson and Anarky from ever facing off so he is stuck as long as Manson is the champion, then Edmunds got elected President, who if it is possible, HATES Copycat even more and between him and LOVE, they are doing their damnedest to make sure that he never gets a World Title shot.

JONATHAN MARX: What about Edmunds?

VIC WATERS: The Board of Directors is kind of fearful that if Edmunds gets the World Title shot and wins the belt, that he will try to become the second Wylde and become the most powerful man in all of wrestling.

JONATHAN MARX: So what you are basically telling me is that the league is going through the power struggle from hell right now and everyone is doing all they can to keep their brothers down.

VIC WATERS: Exactly.

JONATHAN MARX: This is a hell of an opportunity for one of these men to break through when those other guys are fighting amongst themselves. If Gideon were to win this shot, it would be like we turned back history to a year ago when Gideon went to war with Doc as his first opponent and we all know how close in history Manson and Doc Silver are tied.

VIC WATERS: History has a way of being ironic.

JONATHAN MARX: Now before we start, there has been a change tonight, it has been determined by the Board of Directors that person who walks out of here without taking the pinfall will receive the FIRST chance at Manson’s title on our next show BOMB VOYAGE which will happen live on a cruise ship heading to Hawaii.

VIC WATERS: We are going on a cruise to Hawaii!?

JONATHAN MARX: Everyone in the WFW will be. It will be our version of the Bruise Cruise. We will actually have the match while docked in Honolulu, but the match will still happen on board along with all of the interviews with maybe even a couple on the beaches of Hawaii itself.

VIC WATERS: Kick ass, that sure beats Albany.

JONATHAN MARX: Oh, it does, it does, but don’t let Wink hear you say that. This is his home town. FOLKS, LETS SEND THIS ONE DOWN TO RINGSIDE AND GET THIS ONE UNDERWAY!

RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing second, making his way to the ring, weighing in at 213 pounds and standing at 6 feet, three inches, “The Boy Who Destroyed The World” and former BAD World Heavyweight Champion, FELIX RED!

::Felix Red comes down to the ring to the loud boos from the crowd and enters the ring::

(CUEUP: “Remember” by Disturbed)

RING ANNOUCER: And now, the former and longest reigning WFW North American champion, from Buffalo, NY, THE SYSTEM RICHARD GIDEON!

::Gideon comes down to the ring to the roar of the crowd and enters the ring::

*bell rings*

JONATHAN MARX: Richard Gideon and El Arco Iris are talking to themselves in the corner about their strategy as Felix Red is looking on nervously.

VIC WATERS: He had to know going into this match that both men were going to try their damnedest to not only make sure that they won the match for themselves but to make sure Felix Red didn’t win after what LOVE did to Gideon and El Arco Iris at War Games.

JONATHAN MARX: If either of these men want revenge, stealing it away from LOVE would be the best way to do it.

VIC WATERS: Imagine if the won the WFW World Heavyweight Title, they would run this league with an iron fist. It would be almost as bad as if Wells won the Presidency.

JONATHAN MARX: We can only hope that Gideon and Felix Red step up for the occasion. Felix Red walks over to Gideon and El Arco Iris and asks if they are finished talking…. EL ARCO IRIS RUNS OVER AND HE HUGS FELIX RED!

VIC WATERS: SUICIDE HUGGER!

JONATHAN MARX: Richard Gideon comes up from behind and gives the signal to El Arco Iris to let go…. GIDEON GERMAN SUPLEXES FELIX RED DOWN TO THE MAT AND TURNS HIM OVER AND LOCKS IN A HALF BOSTON CRAB! GIDEON CLUTCH!

VIC WATERS: Man, they had that planned all along!

JONATHAN MARX: Gideon is working over that leg of Felix Red where so much of his offense comes from. If he could some damage, that would put him in a great position to win this match.

VIC WATERS: The ref is checking on Felix Red who is trying to fight his way out of this but it is like Gideon has his feet cemented to that ring.

JONATHAN MARX: El Arco Iris tells Gideon to hold him in position, what could these two be planning now? El Arco Iris bounces off the ropes…. QUEBRADA OFF THE ROPES ONTO THE BACK OF FELIX RED!

VIC WATERS: Picture perfect!

JONATHAN MARX: El Arco Iris is grabbing his ribs, it looks like it may have taken the wind out of him. GIDEON LETS GO OF THE HOLD AND TURNS FELIX RED OVER! Gideon is making the cover! 1---------------------------------------------------2--------------------------- FELIX RED KICKS OUT!

VIC WATERS: It is clear to me that these try are trying to bum rush Felix Red in order to catch him off guard like he has been known for doing at times with those educated feet of his.

JONATHAN MARX: El Arco Iris is up and he pulls Felix Red to the center of the ring… he turns over Felix Red and signals to Gideon to come over…. EL ARCO IRIS PUTS A HALF BOSTON CRAB ONTO FELIX RED’S RIGHT LEG WHILE GIDEON PUTS ONE ON HIS LEFT!
VIC WATERS: This is a brilliant idea, they are putting the strength of two men into a boston crab to make it twice as painful.

JONATHAN MARX: Both men are leaning back into the move with all they have the ref is right there checking to see if Felix Red wants to continue.... FELIX RED GRABS THE FOOT OF THE REFEREE!

VIC WATERS: Felix Red is trying so desperately to find a way to break this hold the foot of a referee but I don’t know what good it will do him.

JONATHAN MARX: THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO PULL FELIX RED OFF BUT HE JUST MOVING FELIX RED AND COMPANY CLOSER TO THE ROPES…. FELIX RED LETS GO OF THE SHOE AND REACHES AND SUCCESSFULLY GRABS THE ROPES! The ref is ordering the break.

VIC WATERS: Felix Red is a smart cookie.

JONATHAN MARX: An unaware Gideon is arguing with El Arco Iris about being the one who let Felix Red get that close to the ropes after he had him secure…. GIDEON STARTS FIRING CHOPS AT EL ARCO IRIS IN RAPID FIRE AS FELIX RED ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE!

VIC WATERS: Gideon is really laying it into El Arco Iris!

JONATHAN MARX: EL ARCO IRIS IS COMING BACK WITH SOME CHOPS OF HIS OWN AND HE IS KEEPING GIDEON AT BAY!

VIC WATERS: In this sport, it is fight or flight.

JONATHAN MARX: EL ARCO IRIS DIVES AT THE FEET OF RICHARD GIDEON AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SINGLE LEG TAKEDOWN!

JONATHAN MARX: El Arco Iris is spinning and spinning and spinning around as Gideon is really howling from the pain!

VIC WATERS: People like Tact have called El Arco Iris a high flyer, but he actually also very well versed in mat wrestling as well.

JONATHAN MARX: GIDEON IS KICKING EL ARCO IRIS AWAY WITH THE OTHER LEG AND HE KICKS HIM IN THE HEAD! El Arco Iris breaks the hold and Gideon reaches down to grab his knee.

VIC WATERS: Each man in this match is thinking and plotting several moves ahead of time in order to stay ahead of the other guy.

JONATHAN MARX: El Arco Iris fights his way through the kicks and he grabs the legs of Gideon… EL ARCO TURNS GIDEON OVER AND HE PUTS THE LEGS OF GIDEON WHO IS SCRAMBLING TRYING TO GET TOWARDS THE ROPES BEFORE HE CAN LEAN BACK…. EL ARCO IRIS BRIDGES BACK AND HE LOCKS THE HEAD OF GIDEON WHILE STILL IN THE DEATHLOCK!

VIC WATERS: Gideon almost made it to the ropes there but El Arco Iris knows with how smart of a wrestling Gideon is that he had to get to the ropes.

JONATHAN MARX: The eyes of Gideon are starting to get glazed over but there is a look of determination in his face that he won’t give up.

VIC WATERS: While this is a hell of a submission move, if you hold it on to long, it could do damage to your own back from having to maintain the bridge for any length of time.

JONATHAN MARX: El Arco Iris knows that, but when you are competing for the WFW World Heavyweight Title, you have to leave everything in the ring if you want to be a champion. That is why these three youngsters are such a perfect fit to be in this match, the represent the fighting spirit of the WFW.

VIC WATERS: I wish I had their energy.

JONATHAN MARX: WAIT A SECOND, FELIX RED IS BEGINNING TO GET UP ON THE OUTSIDE! If El Arco Iris is going to get him, it is going to have to be quick before Felix Red gets back in the ring to break this up.

VIC WATERS: Get in their Red!

JONATHAN MARX: The referee is asking Gideon if he wants to give up but Gideon refuses to speak.

VIC WATERS: Oh no, he is thinking about it!

JONATHAN MARX: FELIX RED COMES INTO THE RING AND HE DIVES TO BREAK UP THE SUBMISSION MOVE! El Arco Iris lets go of the bridge and Gideon pulls himself over to the corner to rest.

VIC WATERS: Felix Red cannot be pleased how this match has gone so far, we are a good twelve minutes into this match and he has been on the defensive the whole time. He needs to step up right here and change his momentum.

VIC WATERS: Is there anything more dangerous than a Felix Red kick right to the head? One of these days, I swear he is going to take someone’s head clear off with one of those.

JONATHAN MARX: Look, El Arco Iris is trying to get back up… he is showing a lot of heart here when most people would try to stay down.

VIC WATERS: Heart is one word for it…

JONATHAN MARX: FELIX RED BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES…. TWISTING SOMERSAULT LEGDROP RIGHT ONTO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF EL ARCO IRIS!

VIC WATERS: He clocked him with that one.

JONATHAN MARX: Felix Red turns El Arco Iris over and he goes for the cover! 1-----------------------------------------------2-------------------------- RICHARD GIDEON DIVES ACROSS THE RING TO BREAK UP THE COVER! He wants to walk out of here with the PPV World Heavyweight Title shot!

VIC WATERS: Foolish Gideon, a title shot is a title shot, he could have ended his misery and walked out here and a World Title shot. While TV isn’t the same big time payday as a PPV title shot, it still good money.

JONATHAN MARX: It isn’t just the money, it is the prestige of being the man who challenges for the title on one of our biggest shows of the year. Gideon is going to go down fighting for that spot come hell or high water. Plus, it means you have to win two matches instead of one in order to get the PPV main event.

VIC WATERS: That is true.

JONATHAN MARX: FELIX RED PICKS A TIRED GIDEON UP AND NAILS HIM WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK RIGHT IN THE FACE AND GIDEON CRASHES DOWN ONTO THE MAT!

VIC WATERS: Felix Red is sending a message to Gideon with those hard kicks to stay down or he is going to give him an even worse beating.

JONATHAN MARX: Felix Red is dragging Gideon over to the corner…

VIC WATERS: This can’t be good news for Gideon.

JONATHAN MARX: Felix Red puts Gideon in a front face lock and climbs up to the second turnbuckle….. TORNADO DDT ON GIDEON!

VIC WATERS: He planted him right into the mat.

JONATHAN MARX: FELIX RED IS MAKING THE COVER! 1-----------------------------------------2--------------------------- EL ARCO IRIS DIVES AND FELIX RED MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND HE LANDS ON GIDEON!

VIC WATERS: Felix Red was a move ahead of El Arco Iris because he saw him coming out of the corner of his eye.

JONATHAN MARX: El Arco Iris is getting up off of Gideon… FELIX RED QUICKLY CLIMBS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND MOONSAULT ONTO EL ARCO IRIS AND DELIVERS A DDT!

VIC WATERS: Felix Red is on fire!

JONATHAN MARX: FELIX RED GRABS GIDEON BY THE HAIR AND HE THROWS HIM OUT OF THE RING!

VIC WATERS: Felix Red is going to focus on trying to beat El Arco Iris who is reeling.

JONATHAN MARX: That is what you need to do in a three way where one fall determines the winner. If you have work over one guy and get rid of the other in order to keep him from interfering if you want to stand a shot to win.

VIC WATERS: He only has so much time though because Gideon is someone who takes a lot of abuse and is able to recover rather quickly.

VIC WATERS: Felix Red may have just wasted of a second too long getting rid of Gideon because it gave El Arco Iris a chance to recover.

JONATHAN MARX: El Arco Iris is still in trouble… FELIX RED LOCKS ON A LEG SCISSORS AROUND EL ARCO IRIS’S HEAD LIKE A SLEEPER AND HE IS ATTEMPTING TO PUT HIM OUT COLD!

VIC WATERS: Felix Red has the most powerful legs I have ever seen, if anyone can do this, it is Felix Red.

JONATHAN MARX: El Arco Iris is reaching but he is miles away from where he needs to be in order to get to the ropes. EL ARCO IRIS IS STILL FIGHTING TO BREAK FREE!

VIC WATERS: Fighting the hold is only going to tire him out quicker. He is better off just hoping and praying that Gideon is able to get back into that ring to save him.

JONATHAN MARX: El Arco Iris doesn’t need anyone’s help, he is a great wrestler and he can get out of it on his own, however Gideon would indeed be a help in this situation.

VIC WATERS: Come on Felix, finish him off.

JONATHAN MARX: El Arco Iris is trying to push his way out of the leg scissors but Felix Red has a death grip on him…. . EL ARCO IRIS MANAGES TO BREAK FREE! El Arco Iris crawls towards the ropes and grabs the bottom one!

VIC WATERS: El Arco Iris is trying to get a breather, Felix Red has been relentless so far.

JONATHAN MARX: Felix Red is up and he is going after El Arco Iris…. EL ARCO IRIS GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE AND FELIX RED IS TRYING PULL HIM AWAY!

VIC WATERS: El Arco Iris knows he almost didn’t break out of the last submission move he was placed in.

JONATHAN MARX: WAIT A SECOND, GIDEON IS UP AND HE IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING!

VIC WATERS: He must have slipped over there when Felix Red had El Arco Iris in the leg lock!

JONATHAN MARX: Gideon is a clever man… GIDEON IS COMING INTO THE RING AS FELIX RED IS STRUGGLING TO PULL EL ARCO IRIS OFF…. GIDEON CLIPS THE RIGHT KNEE FROM BEHIND ON FELIX RED AND FELIX RED FALLS DOWN CLUTCHING HIS KNEE IN PAIN!

VIC WATERS: Felix Red had no time to brace himself there because he had no idea that was coming.

JONATHAN MARX: Gideon is pulling Felix Red over to the corner….. GIDEON SLIPS ON OUT OF THE RING AND PULLS FELIX RED’S LEGS BETWEEN THE STEEL POST!

VIC WATERS: If he does what I think he does, we may have a winner.

JONATHAN MARX: GIDEON LOCKS IN THE FIGURE FOUR AROUND THE RING POST AND FELIX RED IS SCREAMING IN PAIN!

VIC WATERS: Gideon could easily break the leg here of Felix Red if he wanted to.

JONATHAN MARX: Gideon isn’t a vicious person, but he does what is necessary to get the job done in order to get to the big dance. THE REF IS GOING TO THE OUTSIDE AND HE IS PUTTING THE COUNT ON GIDEON TO BREAK IT!

VIC WATERS: He has a five count unless he wants to give this match to Felix Red by DQ and cost himself BOTH title shots.

JONATHAN MARX: El Arco Iris is getting up and walking over to the corner…. THE REF IS PUTTING THE COUNT ON GIDEON! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! GIDEON BREAKS THE HOLD RIGHT AT THE FIVE! Wait a second… EL ARCO IRIS BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND HE FLIES ONTO GIDEON WITH A TOPE CON GIRO!

VIC WATERS: OH MAN!

JONATHAN MARX: Gideon crashes back first against the guardrail… he really took a nasty spill out there.

VIC WATERS: El Arco Iris put it all on the line there, if he missed, he would have been the one who would have been denied his shot.

JONATHAN MARX: El Arco Iris slides back into the ring and he is pulling Felix Red into the center… he pulls Felix Red up off of the ground…. CROWN OF HATHOR TORNADO DDT!

VIC WATERS: He has him down, all he needs to do is lock in a leg lock and victory is his!

JONATHAN MARX: EL ARCO IRIS LOCKS ON A FIGURE FOUR LOCK! THIS COULD BE IT RIGHT HERE!

VIC WATERS: Come on Red! You didn’t work this hard to get turned away. Find a way out of this!

JONATHAN MARX: WAIT A SECOND, A LITTLE GIRL IS COMING OUT OF THE CROWD AND SHE HAS A KNIFE TO THE THROAT OF A BUNNY RABBIT!

VIC WATERS: Good lord…

JONATHAN MARX: FELIX RED IS SCREAMING IN PAIN…. El Arco Iris looks over and sees the little girl… EL ARCO IRIS BREAKS THE HOLD AND HE IS PLEADING WITH THE LITTLE GIRL TO LET GO OF THE BUNNY!

VIC WATERS: What kind of sick freak would kill a bunny…

JONATHAN MARX: Felix Red is asking for a microphone, maybe he’ll be able to talk some sense into her…

FELIX RED: SURRENDER IRIS, OR SHE WILL SLIT THIS BUNNY RABBITS THROAT!!!"

RING ANNOUNCER: The winner of the match and the man who will go on to face the WFW World Heavyweight Champion at the PPV…. FELIX RED!

JONATHAN MARX: I can’t believe this, this may be the most heinous thing I have ever seen to hold a cute little bunny rabbit like that hostage.

VIC WATERS: Yeah, it is even worse than Edmunds in bicycle shorts.

JONATHAN MARX: GIDEON AND EL ARCO IRIS CHARGE FELIX RED BUT FELIX RED TAKES OFF WITH THE LITTLE GIRL THROUGH THE CROWD!

VIC WATERS: My god, I’ve never seen El Arco Iris this mad.

JONATHAN MARX: They may have saved the money, but they let Felix Red blackmail them into the WFW World Heavyweight Title shot. I believe we have hit a new low tonight.

VIC WATERS: Poor Gideon too, he was getting up on the outside when El Arco Iris hooked on the Figure Four leg lock and he might have been able to break up the move before El Arco Iris won.

JONATHAN MARX: At least Gideon will get his title shot. Remember, the last time someone got beat out for a WFW World Heavyweight Title shot at the PPV but won a title shot, Scotty Michaels won the title from Shawn Hart ending his record breaking title reign.

VIC WATERS: I remember that quite clearly, it sent the WFW World Heavyweight Title into chaos for months. But we are going to find out if Manson will be able to do what no man has been able to do so far and stabilize the WFW World Heavyweight Title.

JONATHAN MARX: Beating Richard Gideon won’t be easy, Felix Red had to go through extraordinary lengths just to get El Arco Iris isolated. Folks, when we comeback, IT IS TIME FOR THE MAIN EVENT! Manson will team up with his old nemesis Rat Fink in an attempt to beat the WFW North American Champion Psycho and GOLEM! STAY TUNED!

::Wink walks through the curtain::

CHRIS WINK: NOW WAIT A GOD DAMN MINUTE, I’M NOT GOING TO LET LOVE GET AWAY THIS! While I may not be able to reverse the referee’s decision,

::loud boos::

I’m not going to let LOVE screw over El Arco Iris for the second time in three months…. EL ARCO IRIS’S OPPONENT AT THE PPV WILL BE PSYCHO AND THE WFW NORTH AMERICAN TITLE WILL BE ON THE LINE! But I know what you are all thinking…. LOVE is going to interfere and they are just going to cost El Arco Iris his title shot… there is only one answer…. RAGE IN THE CAGE TWO!

::god pop::

If Psycho wants to retain the WFW North American Title, he’ll have to defend it in the match he lost the World Title in front of a world wide stage at the Cherry Blossom Chaos PPV!

Gideon, I apologize to you for not being here earlier since I was at the hospital with Jacobs because of some other jackasses in this company, but I’ll make sure that you’ll get a clean shot to compete for Manson’s title fair and square!

One last thing before I go…. LARRY TACT GOT ABSOLUTELY SCREWED BY SEAN EDMUNDS EARLIER TONIGHT SO AT BOMB VOYAGE, LARRY TACT WILL HAVE HIS CHANCE TO GO ONE ON ONE WITH SEAN EDMUNDS AND THIS TIME SHERRI WILL NOT BE AT RINGSIDE AS ORDERED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS!
I WILL NOT LET WHAT HAPPENED HERE TONIGHT HAPPEN ON BOMB VOYAGE OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY!

::Wink throws down the mic and leaves::

(BROADCAST BOOTH)

JONATHAN MARX: DAMN, Wink is pissed. Folks, we will be back after this to react to what he just said and finally, IT IS TIME FOR THE MAIN EVENT! STAY TUNED!
